some people take things here way to seriously! This is just a forum, just chill out, i don't know what all the fuss is about.

[STMO123]

I agree with Entwood and all others who have commented on the unnecessary personally abusive nature in some threads with swearing or not!:y

However, as a women I appreciate I am on a male orientated forum, and in any male 'space' be it in the pub, workplace, or with friends, swearing can be used to express simple anger or emotions on the subject in hand.  When say discussing dissatisfaction with a distant collective group, especially when it causes frustration, then men can often use unsavoury words to describe that group who are well away from the OOF.  i.e. The Government.  On that subject I have been frequently known to utter the word 'bastards', unmasked you note, and then explain why.  That in my book is good anglo-saxon expressive humour, and the men around me in the past would have uttered far worse!!

No, what I personally do not accept is abuse personally aimed directly at other members, usually just because they do not agree with them, whilst using gratuitous language for effect! This I am offended by, and will never accept.  To me that just reflects a lack of vocabulary and inteligence, coupled with ignorance of other peoples feelings.  This is what should stop immediately in my book!

As for your avatar STMO, I recognised some time ago that your 'character' or 'image' on the oof, but no doubt quite the reverse in real life, is one of being the hard, uncaring, unemotional alpha male.  The avatar is just an extension of the 'act'.  But, yes although I try had not to read it and just treat it as part of the rich fabric of life on the OOF (or should that be Mars?!!), I DO find it unecessary and abusive.  So STMO, I KNOW you are actually a good guy, so please how about toning it down?  

  

How much has he paid you sy that lizzie.  

Don't stir it Skruntie!  Just appealing to that better side I know he really has!

Just how wrong can one person be??

Another example, if i was in the pub, you have people using swear words every 3rd word, or every 2nd, which i don't agree with.

I swear, course i do, but there is a time and a place.

In the pub, i don't go up to a group of people asking them to stop swearing, to make the 'community' better, or the pub a better place, its their choice!

I browse the forum quite a bit and cases of swearing or masked swearing is so rare, i really don't think its an issue.

Overall Tunnie I agree with you, but when it does, and it has, it is no good for anyone, especially the Admins who have to try and dampen everything down afterwards, or even close the General Chat section!!   That is soooooooo unecessary!

Yep, I'm inclined to agree with you guys.
BUT, as has already been said, I don't agree with swearing in anger directly at other members of the forum......a big no no in my book.
I'm sure a bit of mild swearing is unlikely to upset too many female members either. To be honest, some of the language I hear from girls in the pubs these days is far worse than the men!!

[tmx]

no swearing at members isnt on its not tolerated in the work place and it may well land you with a smack in the face down the pub problably!
